Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller endorses Joe Biden for president

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller is endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden for president, just three weeks before the Iowa caucuses.

Miller, first elected in 1978 and serving his 10th term in office, became the longest-serving state attorney general in the history of the United States over the weekend. He was an early backer of Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election cycle.

Miller, a Democratic, had backed Montana Gov. Steve Bullock in the 2020 race before Bullock dropped out in December.

In an interview with the Des Moines Register on Sunday, Miller said he's getting involved again because the last month before the caucuses is "too important and too much fun to be on the sideline."

with Iowa state politics. But, would this guy probably qualify as the most popular democrat in Iowa? He's managed to hold statewide office for 40 years. Pretty impressive in a red leaning state.
